Who will weep for my noble prince? Who will cry
With belly swollen with sorrow, and tears long
As the Black River? Who will hear the clouds sigh
And turn black over red clay, and being strong
Not feel...

 His eyes were blue.  I've romanticize those electric eyes he's got.  His eyes were the sea I was swimming in, crashed into me like waves, and I drown in his eyes like...

So many memories I have are summer-colored, like those walking-down-the-lane days recalled in various hues of green. Green for Grandpa’s cornfields spread all around us and green for the grass on which my sisters and...

Santa Cruz

it was deep and blue-green and you could 
see the sandy bottom where mako sharks circled
the boat, waiting for scraps, a habit they'd 
learnt from the tour boats 

that's when I heard the sound...

One day in Trinidad

Was with my brother
Down in San Fernando
See a girl walking up the street
From the store window

Really, only five years have past
Since your son’s abandoned car was found,
	No note,
		Along side sea cliffs
		North of Santa Cruz,
		After failing with pills,
			Too many times.
	No body either,

All over Italy north and south
Cows and goats and their cheeses
Corn polenta, mid-land pastas
There white and red wine always pleases

as curelium takes over high on the hills above
while over the ocean to the west still lies

A Renga:


A Single Blossom

Santa Cruz Harbor,
The sound of barking seals
In the morning fog

Summer heat pushes people
To the California coast

Watching the sunset,
Newlyweds are holding hands
On the balcony

A power outage has occurred,
But nobody seems to mind

The moon...

THE MERCHANT’S GIFT

It was just a lucky break-in
Christmas Eve     rich old Casey drunk
Not a soul on the floor

AROUND THE WORLD IN ….

Phileas Fogg sought to amaze
And circle the world in eighty days
Long before the plane

One night, in an alcoholic state,
I bet I could do it in twenty-eight
Using boat and train

I didn’t give...

I love Christmas as it brings unity
& for peace it plays a major role,
I see either a brother or a sister
in every Christian’s soft tender soul.

I see a global family which enriched with 
people from...
